Nice list. Is it right to have two Ryan Adams albums on the list? Why not go for broke and put all three from this year on there? I should get my list out by the end of the weekend.
I did not have a chance to absorb "29" before the end of the year, but my guess is that it could have been a contender... However, I'm not sure it is as essential a listen for non-Ryan Adams fans as the first two records. Can't wait to see your list.
I can't get into Jacksonville City Nights. Cold Roses = good stuff, and 29 is certainly more up my alley than JCN, but like Dog, I haven't had a chance to absorb it yet.
